Well that's unfortunate. Whenever I get the chance to find some fenders I'll have to drill new holes. Should probably put the engine back in first though

Just got caught up on all the post, what awsome info!

A nice pair of chromed Beaver emblems sold on Ebay less than a year ago. I didn't realize how rare they are.

I love it! and yes they are expensive I had to wait 7 years to be able to get one for my truck and I had to pay $1000 for the one I got.

I realize this is an old old thread. Hoping someone might share some insight.

As my user name states I am actually die hard ford truck girl. Well I should clarify...anything mid 90s or older. None of the new crap for me. <<<----Putting on flame suit now lmao. I OWN being the black sheep in an all chevy family.

Anyway....my dad died twenty years ago. I inherited a bunch of tools and misc stuff. One of the things in a box of tools were these beaver emblems. I ignored them for years and finally decided to figure out WTH they were/are. NOTHING....not google image, not a million searches by random words showed me anything. THIS forum/group is the ONLY place I found or I would still have no clue what they were or were for.

I'm betting my dad found them at some flea market at some point. While he had chevy /gmc trucks and even dump trucks I do not remember ever seeing these on any vehicle he ever owned.

Never dreamt they were as rare or desired as I'm reading about on this thread.

As far as condition....I know that can be subjective. I personally would give them a 9 pn a scale of 1-10. No pitting. They dang near look like new.

Apart from any extra info than was already discussed here if there is any more info etc it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your insight.

It's been YEARS since I've had to use or host photos so I am hoping these show up and it embeds in this thread.

I have no information on them than what has already been stated sadly. But I would be interested for my collection if you ever would want to part ways with them.

Oh I definitely plan to sell them. I'd planned on posting/asking a couple years ago..hence when I made my account...but then life happens you know lol.

I figured any extra info would help when listing. And seeing nothing...ever...thought I might have one of those unicorn parts/accesories.

I do not want to break any type of rules on here. I did see where I think I can pay for 6 months to list them. IF PMing to make a sale is allowed...then I'd do that. HOWEVER I do feel since this IS the only place I found the info it would only be fair to pay the 15 bucks...IIRC....to the person who hosts the site and keeps it going.

I don't remember the specifics, but these were mounted on the cowl or maybe the side of the hood on certain models of Chevrolet big trucks from the 60's. I believe the idea was to say those trucks were hard working like a beaver. Somewhere in the 60-66 Chevrolet assembly manual there is a picture of one. I'm sure someone else knows more.

So if I'm understanding you correctly these would have been on trucks larger than the 1/2, 3/4 or one ton trucks correct? I did see the copies of the manual and the part but it just said it's heavier duty.

So I'm wondering if it would have been for dump trucks...or what is it now? The kodiak? I know my dad had several 60s dump trucks....he owned his own business.

Thank you! I thought I read they weren't and before even attempting to sell I was going to reread. I do need to dust off my paypal account to allow me access to the sales forum so I can list them here without breaking any rules.
